Methods and Models for the Construction of Weakly Parallel Tests.

Adema, Jos J.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v16 n1 p53-63 Mar 1992

Two methods are proposed for the construction of weakly parallel tests based on a prespecified information function. A method is then described for selecting weakly parallel tests that are optimal with respect to the Maximin criterion. Numerical examples demonstrate the practicality of the tests. (SLD)
